Inventory Tweaks mod makes it easy to manage your in-game inventory.
The author’s name is Simeon. This mod answers the call made by many players who wanted a way to optimize their storage. Indeed, who has not already found themselves with misclassified objects? Inventory Tweaks offers several features such as putting your inventory in order with a single click, automatically replacing the item you have in hand if it is missing, personalizing this mod through configuration files, and many other possibilities. You can turn that off or change the controls by going to your game and inventory menu. It can also be used in multiplayer.
What’s this mod about?
This client mod allows you to easily manage your inventory, in both single player and multiplayer. It works out of the box, and will make you gain a massive amount of time!
- It automatically replaces your tools as they break, and item stacks once emptied
- It sorts your inventory and your chests in a single click/keystroke
- It provides lots of powerful shortcuts to move items around
- It allows you to customize entirely the way your inventory is sorted, thanks to clever configuration files
Warning: The mod can be blocked by certain servers using plugins such as NoCheatPlus.
How to use:
Basic use
Just start playing Minecraft, you can already use most features of the mod. Notice the ”…” button that just appeared on the top-right corner of your inventory? This leads to the mod settings screen, if it’s there it means that the mod is installed correctly.
Inventory sorting
Trigger the sorting in your inventory by using the middle click, or by pressing R (by default), at any time. If you want to change the shortcut, you can do that from the ”…” menu in your inventory.
Tip: The middle click shortcut behaves differently if you target the crafting input: in that case, it will adjust the item amounts to balance them, helping optimize your recipe input. For example, if you want to make sticks, it will make sure your wood will be split equally between the top and the bottom stack.
Chests sorting
When you open a chest, you will see three additional buttons on the higher part of the screen. They allow to sort items in different ways ; but you can also use the middle click if you prefer (click several times to switch the sorting method).
Auto-refill
If you eat an item, break a tool or empty a stack by placing blocks, the mod will automatically fetch if possible a similar item from your inventory.
Note:
- Click on the ”…” button from your inventory to explore the features (yay, inventory shortcuts!) and customize the settings of the mod.
- You don’t even have to be in your inventory to use the R shortcut.
F.A.Q.
If you’re having troubles making the mod work, or can’t manage how to customize things as you want, tell your problem on the Github Issue Tracker, or the Minecraft Forum topic, other users and I will be glad to help!
- I can’t sort items from my mods like I want!
Edit the InvTweaksTree.txt file from the config folder, to manually add the items you want to sort. Each item is defined by its ID, which can be found on item tooltips after pressing the key combination F3+H ingame.
- The last update broke my InvTweaksTree.txt file!
Don’t worry, you’ll find a backup in your config folder. It’s just that InvTweaks replaced the tree with a new version, up-to-date with the latest Minecraft items.
- The config files don’t appear!
You’re probably running a platform that is not 100% supported by Java. In any case, what you can do is extract manually these files from the Zip: DefaultConfig.dat should go to {MinecraftDir}/config/InvTweaksConfig.txt, and DefaultTree.dat to {MinecraftDir}/config/InvTweaksTree.txt.
- The ”…” icon looks bad with my texture pack!
By default, the mod uses assets/minecraft/textures/gui/widgets.png to draw the small buttons for the inventory and chests. It looks good most of the time, but you can override this by adding a assets/inventorytweaks/textures/gui/button10px.png file to your pack.
